• Rain what rain?

    Posted by Vince Francis on June 4, 2005 at 3:59 pm

    Well from what i understand, not many had the rain like we did yesterday!

    We are left with no electrics, phones………

    There are 6 units in our block, and within 20mins we were left all in this condition! I have never experienced anything like this before, and hope to be up and running by tuesday.

    I have been trying to dry out the mains box today, it looked like a waterfall, flowing through the 3phase box 🙁

    Our welder made the moment more amusing, bouncing round like C3P0, not knowing what to save first, his tool box that looked like a swimming pool, the welding plant that had water running all over it, or turning off the mains power which had water going through it. We, thank god, stopped him turning off the power supply with a stainless steel tube he had in his hand!

    Feel for you mate, we had this exact situation a few years back. Council had cleaned the storm drains and the water backed up so fast, we didn’t know what to do first.

    I saved a lot of time and went straight to panic 😮

    Take care tho. At least it gives you a chance to tidy up the shop 🙄 😛

    Just kidding mate

    Thanks once again everyone, we are in full production once more. Took a while, but at least all the machines are working again.

    One large weight off my shoulders!
